Bleeding pakistan internally...is one step closer to reality.If that happens, India has also participated on OBOR, sending Pakistani in debt ridden shit hole. More revenue for Afghanistan and Iran. If India China jointly make projects in Afghanistan, the safety of Indians from terrorists attacks can be ensured as Pakistanis cannot piss off China.
Those very people want Indians to forget who colonized India for 200 years and f*ucked it of its resources for 200 years.
Do they think Indians suffer from memory loss and are too unintelligent to recall the true history of last 200 year
Just like Korea uniting...If China and India decide not be enemies...their game is over.
Be prepared to see all dirty tricks used in near future to create rift and rivalry between China and India.
Neocolonial, Neo-imperialists -have thrived by pitting nations against each other...Taiwan against China...Pakistan against India...South Korea against North Korea...
What is wrong with the wine? It is basically grape juiceModi is a pure vegetarian, he doesn't even drink wine....
Once someone asked Sadhguru what his opinion was about Modi. Sadhguru basically said that whether you like Modi or not, one thing you cannot dispute is that betterment of Indians is in his heart at all times. He further added without naming Congress but we all know who these leaders are that he had interacted with national level Indian leaders before and it was truly scary to note that betterment of Indians was never on their mind. We are truly blessed to have people like Sadhguru among us.PM Modi is selfless, brave and very patriotic leader of India. Nothing can deter him from looking after India's interests and Indians overwhelmingly trust him. Yes, he is vegetarian and loves lentil soup and yogurt. No LOBSTERS for him pleas.
Two giant nations have to make a big choice...to peacefully coexist and trade across Himalayas and prosper
OR become enemies and risk being used/abused by other powers against each other.
PM Modi has been in politics for 4 decades..he very well understands global politics and hidden agendas of different nation. I am sure he will do what is best for India.
Rest assured...as long as PM Modi is leader of India...India will not become vassal of any one..West or China...He will have independent foreign policy and strategic autonomy.
India's neutrality is conditional upon China meeting India's core interest. There are no ifs and buts about it. The list provided by Sanjeev is entirely reasonable. It is true that we cannot get China to agree on it overnight. However, we should be relentlessly pushing it to China.How are we going to reciprocate? We have nothing to offer to China in return except staying neutral in regional conflicts involving China like in the South China Sea etc. So none of your points you mentioned will ever be acceptable to the Chinese. It's totally one sided.
well im not sure where you got your info that india captured a few posts in tibet ....?? did he actually do it ? otherwise how did china know he was "planning" to do it ? they didnt have hacking in those days to obtain info ?? or did they assume ??[
.Nehru was being controlled and directed by his colonial masters who advised him to ask Chinese leaders to hand over Tibet...when he told Indian army to capture a few posts in Tibet ...China reacted furiously and
came inside India ....

The issue during 1962 was that Nehru declared friendship with China and then started the forward policy of aggressively patrolling disputed areas.@delbruky
That would be Option 3.
Hope this charade is just a mere formality & Modi doesn't make that same mistake of actually-trusting-the-chinks...in that case the consequences could be really nostalgic, for both India & BJP.
Declaration of friendship doesn't mean gifting the chinks all the disputed territories.The issue during 1962 was that Nehru declared friendship with China and then started the forward policy of aggressively patrolling disputed areas.

Believe it or not, it was Nehru who betrayed China, instead of the other way round. It's just that China kicked our ass so we assume that China betrayed us. After China started pushing back, Nehru begged to Kennedy for of fighter jets, to which they remarked "the saint has been caught coming out of the whorehouse" (after all the non-alignment bullshit we preached others).
India in 1962 neither had the military capability, nor allies, nor the preparation to handle a Chinese escalation, and yet we picked a fight with them.
Nobody was betrayed. Outsmarted? yes but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a betrayal.Declaration of friendship doesn't mean gifting the chinks all the disputed territories.
Not having military capability doesn't mean we roll over & let them take whatever they want either.
We still reserve the right to aggressive PATROLLING of those area....that those chink theives had already occupied while at were busy rebuilding our nation.
It was no proper escalation either, just asserting presence...Had it been, our men wouldn't have been outnumbered 8 to 1, when "our friends" invaded. Yes, Kargil was a "pushing back", not '62.
That was a pre-planned, two-front, full-scale invasion...& their drama before, was a part of it to lower our guard down.
Believe it or not, it was China who betrayed Nehru, instead of the other way round & right now they're probably trying it again.
Except we won't trust them this time, or expect that they'll stop funding our enemies & insurgents... hopefully.
In June 1940, Hitler "outsmarted" the French.Nobody was betrayed. Outsmarted? yes but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a betrayal.
Mao came to power after a long struggle. He outsmarted the best in his country at that time whereas Nehru became our prime minister just by throwing few tantrums in front of our beloved Bapu.
This was an informal meeting. The expectations were already set that there may not even be a joint statement or any agreements. Each leader may present his version to his media. The purpose was to speak at the highest level and understand each other and talk frankly on different issues. Main takeaway was each leader will talk to their army generals and will ask them to stand down. Anything can be achieved via talks. Xi must have asked Modi to stand with China against US hegemony but Modi may have refused giving our neutral stand. Similarly India would have expressed concerns about Chinese presence in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other neighbors and Xi may have refused. That's why China understand this and mentioned each country can have their independent foreign policy without targeting another country.Let me go against the tide and just say that India agreeing to joint China and India infra projects in Afghanistan would be a move which benefits only in China.
Question : What stopped China from not executing same project previously in Afghanistan? Was it because of image issues, it feared hostility from common Afghanistanis? Is Roping India, a way of neutering its image in AFghanistan & learning how to handle engagement ropes in Afghanistan, so that future solo inroads into Afghanistan are not hundred and India can be sidelined?
Modi like all BJP leaders has one weakness. They value glitter and pomp given by Foreign leaders even when they are likely to back stab them.
